Donald trump for president 2016

A former US governor has become the first Republican politician to challenge Donald Trump for the presidency. Bill Weld, who served as governor of Massachusetts during the 1990s, announced he had formed a presidential exploratory committee to challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 Republican primaries. Weld, who rejoined the party this year after campaigning as the Libertarian party’s vice-presidential candidate in 2016, attacked Trump’s record in a speech at a breakfast event in Bedford, New Hampshire. "It is time for all people of good will to take a stand and plant a flag," he said. "It's for this reason that I have today established an Exploratory Committee to pursue the possibility for my running for the Presidency of the United States as a Republican in the 2020 election."

Several members of the mainstream media blamed President Donal Trump for a suspect who allegedly killed five journalists on Thursday and reportedly had a longstanding dispute with the newspaper dating back to before Trump even declared his candidacy for the Oval Office. Per several reports, authorities late Thursday identified Jarrod W. Ramos as the shooter who allegedly opened fire on the news staff of Maryland’s The Capital-Gazette newspaper. It came out shortly thereafter that Ramos had a longstanding battle with the newspaper dating back nearly a decade–one that resulted in lawsuits being filed and the man appearing to create a Twitter account in which he repeatedly bashed the Maryland newspaper for years.Ramos appears to have had a long and troubled history with the newspaper. In 2011, he was convicted of criminally harassing a romantic interest. A then-Gazette columnist, Eric Hartley, wrote a story about his conviction and his history as a harasser. Ramos reportedly … [Read more...] about Mainstream Media Blame Donald Trump for Maryland Newspaper Shooter

House GOP leaders are having serious problems finding the votes for Speaker Paul Ryan’s amnesty plan, the so-called “compromise” legislation that will be voted on alongside a bill from House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) on Thursday. Their struggle comes after President Donald Trump, while endorsing both pieces of legislation in a winding speech to members Tuesday evening, did not make a hard sell for either bill–just backed both of them–leaving leadership scrambling as House Majority Whip Steve Scalise hit the ground running late Tuesday to gauge support in the conference for the bills.Trump is walking a tightrope here on immigration policy. If he goes too hard against the amnesty plans, he risks dividing the GOP and losing moderates ahead of an all-important midterm election. If he goes too hard for the amnesty plans, he risks similarly dividing the party by losing his base voters–and as, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs says, … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Faces Presidency-Defining Moment as House Leaders Struggle to Find Votes for Paul Ryan Amnesty Plan

Last week, Dr. Bret Weinstein testified to Congress about the extreme limits on expression that exist in certain environments on college campuses around the country. No campus protest has caught the media’s attention quite like the spring 2017 protests at Evergreen State College. The saga, which centered around progressive biology Professor Bret Weinstein, involved student protesters roaming campus with baseball bats, an intentional disarming of campus police, and the university president being held hostage by students. And what sparked this? Weinstein’s polite disapproval of an activism event that Bari Weiss of the New York Times called “a day of racial segregation.” This is how Weinstein described the “Day of Absence” in a May 2017 column for the Wall Street Journal. Day of Absence is a tradition at Evergreen. In previous years students and faculty of color organized a day on which they met off … [Read more...] about Weinstein to Congress: You Can’t Say ‘Donald Trump Is President’ in Campus Safe Spaces
